Lead Pastor

Aaron Burke

At the beginning of 2013, Aaron and his wife, Katie, took a major step of faith and planted Radiant Church on September 15, 2013 with a dream of impacting the Tampa Bay area for the kingdom of God. Since the launch, Radiant Church has seen incredible growth and expansion. Aaron has a heart for multiplication and plans to continue to open locations throughout Tampa Bay.

Aaron and Katie have been living their dream ever since. They are continually amazed at how God has used this local church to move people towards Christ, community and their calling. They firmly believe that the best is yet to come for Radiant Church and Tampa Bay!

Aaron graduated from Southeastern University in 2005, received his Masters in Business Administration in 2010 and completed his Doctorate in Ministry in 2020. Aaron and Katie have been married since 2010 and now have 5 beautiful children: Lily (2012), Annabelle (2014), Kai (2016), Elise (2018), and Adeline (2020). With his spare time, Aaron loves to travel, spend time with his family and crossfit.
